1. Why does Midland have water restrictions?

Midland is currently contracted to use surface water sources owned by the Colorado River Municipal Water District. These sources are depleting due to the drought and evaporation. The addition of groundwater from T-Bar and Clearwater Ranches has secured many decades of more water for Midlanders, but the drought necessitates that we be good stewards of these sources.

2. Where does Midland get its water?

The City of Midland’s primary water source is the Colorado River Municipal Water District (CRMWD). This consists of Lakes Thomas, Spence, and Ivie. The Paul Davis Well Field is another water source, and T-Bar and Clearwater Ranches will most likely become the city's primary water sources in the future.

3. What are Midland's current water restrictions?

The current outdoor watering schedule allows residents and businesses in the City of Midland to water twice per week. Even numbered addresses may water outdoors on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Odd numbered addresses may water outdoors on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Any violation may result in a fine up to $500.

4. Can I use sprinkler system, soaker hose, drip system, hand held hose, etc.?

Any method of watering is allowed during your established watering time.
